I kinda like the in car interview
Kinda cramped cuz of the type of car
It’s sick but god damn they should a left the windows up
@@Richestmanintheworld395the outside sounds from the track were kinda cool given the topic.. minus the engine revs here and there lol
@@Richestmanintheworld395if they rolled the windows up they woulda been cooking in that heat. Probably 100 degrees out there at the track that day
@mikeyz131 it's 100 degrees and they both have hoodies on?
I just stumbled on this video. STI Mikey tuned my 04 WRX 11-12 years ago when I was a broke college kid. I was lucky there was a meet up where he came and tuned 5-6 cars for an affordable price. Unfortunately my car was parked and a kid under the influence crashed into it and totaled the car a few years back but if Mikey is reading the comments I really appreciated you tuning the car and glad your doing great. Be safe. Thank you both for the interview.
One of the best tuner videos to date. So nice to see someone ask the man about goals, budget, and fueling to achieve certain goals!!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I've been looking for a video like this since I got my '21 3.0 a couple years ago. I have HKS downpipes but my ECU is a locked one which has kept me from a tune for so long. I've notice prices come down further and further to unlock though. When I got mine they couldn't even unlock stateside, I think it was only somewhere in Russia that offered it. Hearing this is motivating. I don't want a drag car, just a street car that can beat pretty much anything that comes up. Will go meth and ecu instead of turbo>meth>ecu most likely now.
I've had a Mikey tune on my subaru for 10 years and still going. I'll definitely be going back to him once I cross over to the B58 platform. Its great to see and hear some real world numbers, and figures, of what it actually takes to make a car go fast on the track.
All the b58 Supra rumors coming to the end 7 sec Supras mk5 happened in less than 5 years . 2jz mk4 fanboys whip their cream those numbers no lie …
This video is so goated. Tukes you’re a really finding a lot of success with these interviews, bro you just interviewed at the man the myth, the legend for the A90. Nothing but good things to say about him. He definitely knows how to make these cars go fast. way faster than I want to go. Excellent work with the interview a good questions and good vibes.
Been getting tuned by Mikey for close to 10 years now! Most humble & raw tuner I’ve worked with 🙏🏽
Hands down the best tuner in the world. Every supra needs that bottisauce
Idk about the best tuner in the world. But he definitely knows his shit.
best tuner on the b58 platform and its not even close.@@e30gangsta
@@richardstevens679 that's different than your original statement. But I agree.
Best tuner in the world? 💀 maybe for the b58 platform
@@GabethemosthatedSeems like one of the best for the S58 platform as well, He just trapped 159 mph in the 1/4 on a stock motor S58.
B58 Gang 🔥
The legend! I’m getting in a b58 because of your videos. I’m coming from the EA888 world which was fun.
@@alvaroperez7879good
Mikey tuned my WRX and he is one of the coolest tuner/gearhead I met in the car world.
His E-Tuning methodology is solid. After just three iterations, we started cranking the boost. I don't believe I ever saw knock during the tuning process. Fast turnaround and almost always available. That was my experience in 2016.
THIS IDEA IN THE CAR IS GENIUS KEEP STEPPING OUT OF THE BOX WE ARE HERE FOR IT 🙏🏽💪🏽
Intro highlights are good but yall gotta put the segments (Video Chapters) in the video so that it can get more engagement and make it possible for someone to jump straight to the topic
Great interview. I love hearing from the goat, and the way the interview was conducted. I saw yall filming this live at the track.
Wow i truly really loved this interview,one of many that one can learn alot from,mikey sharing his bad experiences and good ones,creating an atmoshere of motivation and h8s love for the sporttells me how ambitious and competive he is and not giving up in whst he wants to achieve,thanks you both for mak8ng this interview possible.
IM from CT, New Haven CT has the craziest race scene every weekend. And we have huge money races in CT as well.
The in car interview is so dope. Bring this back
PREMIUM podcast.. Mikey is the MAN , and been SO nice to the Rices & Beccas Boopra
My man Mikey. I hosted him so many times on his early days traveling up and down the coast. Had good times! He’s tuned every car of mine.
Gave you your flowers too. Awesome guy
Excellent conversation and interview. Learnt a lot. Love the in car setting.
🔥!! That’s my tuner right there !! We still tuning but he’s the 🐐
Mikey tuned both my wrxs fantastic dude highly recommend this guy 👏👏
thats were i had my subaru legacy gt tuned prime motoring and now that im getting a bmw m240i i will be looking for tuneing
Tuned by him now and my car Supra doesn’t run good at all. Had a bad experience with him when I paid for a remote tune on the dyno. Hopefully he treats his customers better now.
running Mikey's e50 tune on my 22 VB WRX for 400whp and 480wtq for 13k miles so far, hopefully we go pi soon for a stg2 turbo for me.
Awesome pod, super humble guy, mad enthusiast. Love it
Man I really love this episode… sooo much info… I’m going to have to watch this again… this was good 👍🏽
I like the change of scenery. Sitting in the shop looks repetitive although ive been enjoying like ya last 4-5 interviews from start to finish! Keep up the good work!!!
Buying a b58 and calling this guy
Awesome vid
The fact that the notorious epa overreach is news to you is the reason its such a big deal. Its an extremely serious problem that such a small margin of us enthusiasts are aware of. Auto manufacturers, parts manufacturers, parts sellers, calibrators, shops, end users, all under attack without clear language on what line we can walk.
You can think diesel brodozer coal rolling dickheads for this, by the way. Riled up the EPA and ruined the fun for the rest of us.
The EPA doesn’t know wtf they’re talking about in the first place lmao…..A Catless Car with a really good Tune from a “Reputable Tuner” will produce less Emission related Gases compared to a Stock Car with a Cat from the Factory especially when the Catless Car’s on Full E85/C85 or just a Basic Ethanol Fuel Blend….ALSO ELECTRIC CARS CAUSE MORE EMISSIONS THAN COMBUSTION ENGINES WHICH IS A SCIENTIFICALLY PROVEN FACT LMFAO This makes me think that the people working at the EPA are completely Uneducated/obvious on Basic Supply Chain Economics outlining how Electric Cars are Built, where the Materials come from, and where the Power to Charge these Cars originates from LOL…..The EPA at this point is just a group of Mindless Governmental Pawns that’ll believe anything the “Mainstream Scientific Studies” say mainly because THEY PAID FOR THOSE “MAINSTREAM STUDIES” IN THE FIRST PLACE!!!!!
This series is gonna blow up you guys have such a solid product that i enjoy
We need an interview with Jeff Payn next!!
Wait he implied 🐝 58 is amazing!!! Yessss
love watching tukes while editing. Great podcast and very informational cant wait for the new uploads. And my clients can thank him because I can actually get stuff done. Great Job Again TUKES
You should have asked Botti if he liked the release of the 6MT MKV. Wealth of knowledge here. Pioneer
🔥 best one so far
Thanks!
loved this podcast useful info on the b58 for my b48 in parts, keep up the vids 😄💯
STi Mikey is a pillar in the Subaru community. You gotta JR next, or Bader.
Loving the content
Great interview guys Much respect to @stimikey
My boy on that yayo
Car interview is fireeeeeeeee🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Really great video and interview. Loving Mikey.
Does Botti have a channel, or some sort of community and way to get in touch with him??
I have questions about the Supra build I want to do and obviously have him tune.
Thanks! In the description is his info =)
One of your BEST podcasts ever Tukes - please get more tuners on here!!!! Reach out to GoRaceBox. They also tune B58's and I'm sure they would be more than interested enough in doing an episode.
+1 Bring Racebox on here!
Racebox Fam 😤😤😤
Here’s a reason for break-in period.
If you are going to change the oil every 3-5 thousand miles, then yes you should break it in because small particles left over from manufacturing will build in the oil filter, which may affect oil pressure. If you change it often, in the first couple thousand miles, doesn’t matter how hard you beat on it.
About breaking in the car aggressively..there have been articles and info about how the "drive it like you stole it" method is better than baby-ing it in. Somthing about the way the piston rings seal/seat against the cylinder bore or something like that.
these last two videos are HEATERS 🔥👍🏻
Every podcast from now on should be in a car. It's awesome
I own a VW but know of the legend of Botti tuned. Some of the fastest cars I have seen along with Bader.
Literally been kinda interested in tuning my own car and have an old nissan fwd that I've been interested in messing with the ecu but like this guy kinda gave me that push of okay do it
Man this guy knows what he's talking about
Great job with this interview brother
🙏🏽🙏🏽
Those cars are very impressive.
Great interview!
Best interview & Mikey gave great info!
top 10 podcasts !!🔥
Awesome Interview
As a tuner iagree with this dude the tune is on basis i tune drift cars light af i know is gonna be in the limiter for 10 min lol
Damn he said the Turnpike, I definitely remember those days…Taco Bell, McDonald’s, Pepboys definitely used to be lit
Lit episode bro is smart asf
5:47 shoutout to Ron Watson (Phatbotti Tuning). Tuned my WRX a few years back still going strong
Great podcast as always❤
Bruh the fact you didn’t know about the EPA stuff is wild. Get with the program lol
Homie street tuned my forester back in the day , great dude
He just tuned my vb yesterday. Him and jaz are the fucking guys! 💪💪
What limits S58 cars to 8psi on the line? More revs overcome brake boosting or something?
S58 is better because it has increased bore w/forged pistons, shorter stroke and bigger valves. Its mechanical attributes will make the motor last longer for BIG power.
has your s58 beat any b58 records ?
you gotta get Hesi and 1stock on the podcast
Does sti Mikey tune other car brands or other built motors?🤔
Now were talkin! Best one yet
He tuned my wrx back in 2017 the car ran amazing after
This is a good one Tukes!!
yea idk about the b58 vs s58, b58 seems like it gave alot more issues than s58, especially if you gotta throw 100k into the b58 thats buying a whole m3
Well it was a new platform, still is. Now you can piggyback off it to s58 for easier access.
He says s58 is more reliable at 1000hp. Its crazy he said. Watch again
Who on earth is "throwing $100k" into a B58? You can make ridiculous power on these and not come anywhere close to that including a built trans which is far more expensive than most of the power mods
he just said, "if you can the money you can throw 100k at a used m340 an have a high 8 second car" @@greatcolor
@@kevinsue1778 didn’t catch that. Yeah what a goof tryna compare with 100k. Now a civic sure. But this no
1:04:39 some of your question make no sense you can see the confusion on his face lol, “was the s58 designed for performance or reliability” don’t think it was both lmfaoo, secondly like when he corrected you the Supra we hit advertised as a track car, it’s a road car like a GT
Best B58 tuner in the world🔥
Fastest for sure but his cars blow up far more frequently than other tuners
@@JamaicaItalia If you are not on the edge of blowing up, then you are not getting all you can from it.
@@JamaicaItaliapushing records that what’s gonna happen.
@coryr7499 pushing records is irrelevant especially when there's always something faster.
Happens to cars that aren't pushing records too. His tunes are notorious for blowing up. Look at Dom Tracy's supra. Lasted less than a month with a Mikey Tune @@coryr7499
21:14 idk why people put so much money into Subies to make such little HP. U can go get a 340i for less and push the same number reliably for about 10k of mods
Very informative. I usually do Dyno but on my last tune, I went street for drivability, which made a difference.
Shouldve asked what the difference is between 240/340/supra when it comes to power is there a difference? Has he seen a xdrive hinder power translation into the floor so many questions so little time lol
Dude just tuned my car, made power and fuel economy at the same time 😂. How can you not love him
Was the Dodge Caravan a Turbo version ?
Hey guys -- im burning 1qt of oil every 2000 miles is that lemon law-able?
When I get my supra I'm gonna have Mikey tune it 😍
RIP ATCO RACEWAY many memories and sad to see it go
Awesome video man. A lot of gems was shared. By any chance does anyone know what driver seat that is
Should’ve asked about s55
How much $$$ to run about 600whp and what mods for b58 gen 1???
Tune, turbo, fueling. If you want to do it sustainably you’d need more (port injection, reflex kit, cooling, big turbo vs hybrid). But bare minimum, probably around 6k. If you want to do it right, closer to 10-12k.
This doesn’t include that fact that around that amount of power, your trans will start to slip and you’ll need to get it rebuilt. That’s about 5k.
u need to support the trans first, hybrid turbo, tu pump from gen 2 cars
Nah this a lit interview 🔥
Great one
I think we can agree if the s58 and b58 are constantly arguing over who’s better, I’d say it’s a draw. The real winner is BMW
Mike spoke from his personal experience here, but the Rick and Ranny interview had better accuracy with respect to the platforms if you're looking for that.
I just bought a 2024 bmw m240i I'm in Western Mass area looking for good shop for upgrades
Connecticut stand up !!!!
Crazy to me to hear that so many people don't know about all the government hoops tuners need to jump through in order not be shut down by the EPA. With that said, people, stop asking tuners to shut off CELs for missing cats, EVAP or EGR. They can't do that legally regardless of what state you're in.
Yeah when I went to get my 135i tuned with just a catless downpipe and drop in filter my tuner said do it yourself then handed me the computer and told me how to do it so he wasn’t liable….”as long as my fingers aren’t on the computer it’ll be okay” lmfaooo
It’s Alpha was focused on making sure his hat didn’t fall off the entire video
I have a BMW 440i and go to the pyke!!
Nasioc, classic . Good ole days
This dudes wrong on a lot of this. The s58 made 1000hp with the Red Bull brothers on their drift car that was just torn down by bmw m on TH-cam and given a clean bill of health on a stock bottom end. The s58 has a superior oil sump, larger coolant passageways, larger oil drains, a physically wider block with more external reinforcement and forged pistons. It’s a superior motor if you’re trying to make power. The only reason the b58 supras are running these times is because it’s like 400-500lbs lighter.
There are zero people debating buying an S58 vs B58 as a crate motor, so your argument is dumb as hell, the car it comes in absolutely matters. Compression ratios are also a thing. Sound like a dip who bought an M4 and is big sad you get gapped by B58s that sound 10x better doing it.
Who are YOU again?
@@SynHaven the guy spitting facts. Prove any of what I said wrong
I have to agree here, having owned an m340 before I bought my g82. The power potential is far higher imo on the s58 for a multitude of reasons. Only thing I do agree on is that the supporting mods, tunes, parts are far more available for the b58 platform.
Did he backtrack on that s58 comment?
Mike do you think the S58 requires methanol? Methanol doesn't seem to in the s58 community currently
its official the b58 is now the new gen 2jz
